It is rare for planners to attend events where they are able to sit and enjoy the event and be pampered along the way. During Christmas, Paige Levy and Charles Stuart of San Diego Hotels: The Grand Del Mar – A San Diego Luxury Hotel hosted “A trip around the world in 24 hours.” They invited about 60 planners for a lovely evening of dinner and dancing and spared no detail!

We checked in to the hotel, where each of us had our own King size luxury room overlooking the stunning grounds of the property. Hair and makeup appointments were set up for us by Call Me Beautiful where we were able to get dolled up for the evening festivities.

As soon as we got ready, we headed to the hotel lobby for cocktail hour and this was where we were able to mingle and meet with all our friends in the industry.

All of us were quite curious as to what was in store for the rest of the evening. We were escorted to the main ballroom and as the ballroom doors opened we were greeted by an incredible 20 piece band from Westcoast Music.

The decor was absolutely spectacular with video mapped images of Italy and France on the walls. It felt as though we were in a Tuscan-Mediterranean dream. The tablescape was stunning by Kathy Wright and the furniture was nothing less than spectacular from Revelry Event Designers.

We were treated to the most delectable Four Course meal while the band performed everything from Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift to Bel Biv Devoe and Boyz II Men. It was such a fun night and as you can see by the video, everyone was on the dance floor!

After dinner, we were taken to the room next door where they had set up the after party and dessert. They had DJ Danno set up and the party continued!

The next morning, we were treated to a full brunch including an omelet station, French toast, and everything in between before everyone checked out.

Thank you so much to Paige and Charles for having us. It was truly a “Grand Experience.”

We are thrilled that our stunning couple, Nancy and Darshan, have been featured on Junebug Weddings! This whole event was so personal, as both the bride’s and the groom’s backgrounds were so uniquely incorporated into every aspect of the wedding.

According to Nancy and Darshan, “The design process came from picking our favorite colors and adding some romance to the design. The main dinner room was transformed with lighting and drapery to fit the look we were trying to achieve.”

Revelry created a backdrop of hanging glass globes layered over silky grey fabric and hung two of their sparkling silver globe chandeliers with crystals above the table. Then we decorated the tabletop with our brand new handmade silver collection and Hidden Garden Floral Design‘s lovely florals in soft pinks, lavender and greens. Wildflower Linen dressed the table in custom-designed quilted chair covers that looked like Chanel bags and a rich velvet tablecloth.

The Callaway Gable team was there to professionally capture our visual appreciation for one of the best designers in history! Click here to see “Ode to Coco” featured on Junebug Weddings and here to see a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot.

Mona and Sanjay are the most beautiful couple! We coordinated their wedding a few years ago at the Ritz Carlton Dana Point on a perfect day with the ocean as their backdrop. They now have an adorable baby boy and as Sanjay’s 40th birthday was approaching, Mona asked us to help her plan an amazing party to celebrate the occasion.

After visiting many venues, Mona settled on the Montage in Beverly Hills and we came up with several ideas to keep the evening filled with fun and entertainment. We decided to create a step-and-repeat wall on the red carpet for photographs as guests entered the cocktail area, in addition to a photo booth and cigar roller. Guests enjoyed amazing tray-passed appetizers and even a specialty white drink called the Marilyn Monroe.

Following the cocktail hour, guests were escorted to the conservatory into a beautiful black and white room decorated with furniture and mirrors hung over the existing paintings. The twinkling city lights of L.A. could be seen in the background as guests mingled around the room and sampled small-plate concept cuisine from various food stations inside the conservatory.

Guests were then escorted into the main ballroom, decorated by Revelry Event Designers, in cream and gold. The white furniture, custom mirrored bars and tables were very Marilyn Monroe. They even draped the balconies in beautiful gold fabric! Our vision for the room was perfect elegance and that’s exactly how it felt. All the guests watched as Sanjay cut the cake while Marilyn Monroe came out to sing to him. Everyone sampled an amazing array of yummy desserts, drank beautiful cocktails and danced to the harmonious sounds mixed by Ajay of Special Occasions until very late. The party was a huge success.

Rajnit and Jay wanted to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in an intimate setting with their family and close friends. Their anniversary was December 30th, and after visiting many venues, they finally chose the Montage Beverly Hills. Rajnit and Jay loved the idea of having their guests first come for the reception, followed by an after party later that night. The Montage proved to be the perfect location! Scarpetta, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, created by award-winning Chef Scott Conant, was an excellent spot for the after party. Throughout the various meetings with vendors and the hotel, Raj and Jay were very involved in the planning process, which always makes it fun.

Because Rajnit spent many years in Hong Kong and is very well versed in Asian cuisine, she made some wonderful choices for the menu. The idea was to offer guests small plates throughout the night, with stations from different countries. The color palette of black, white and silver was suggested by Nikki and a very modern feel for the ballroom was envisioned. Nikki brought in the talented team of Revelry Event Designers to create the decor and the room looked absolutely fabulous with white draping, tied with black tie backs and black valances. The entire room had black carpeting and set up started on Thursday for a Saturday event. A lounge look and feel was designed for the whole ballroom with a few tables flanked around the dance floor. A raised bar with amazing panels was placed on one end of the room and the lighting was truly magical.

A plethora of candles and white flowers created a cutting edge mood and vibe was very modern. Guests were greeted by a professional MC on the live red carpet runner and had photos taken with the couple in front of step-and-repeat wall. As soon as the doors opened, champagne girls wearing silver costumes and head gear welcomed the guests. Rajnit and Jay’s three children recited a touching and funny poem in honor of their parents and guests danced until midnight in the ballroom. After the reception, guests moved for the after party to Scarpetta; which lasted till 3:00 am. It was a beautiful and memorable evening and will remain etched in memories for a long time.

Designing a mandap is an artform all it’s own. The mandap is the focal point and sacred four-pillared structure of the wedding ceremony, where the exchanging of wedding vows takes place surrounded by family and the sacred fire. The mandap is symbolic and represents the four Vedas and the four goals of a fulfilled life, which are Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. Each pillar of the mandap represents the support and strength of each parent of the bride and groom. The day before the wedding ceremony, an important ritual known as Mandap Mahurat or Mandap Ropan is held to bless the mandap.

We put great care and thought into the design of our mandaps, working closely with our clients to ensure everything is absolutely perfect. We hope you enjoy these examples of beautiful mandaps!
